servus & salam

On Sunday the video and photo-exhibition "Servus and Salam - An Insight Iran" open at a Munich church. During his one-year long odyssee through the country, the producer and video-artist Dominik Fuhrmann had collected really amazing pictures of landscapes, people and sceneries. They all left the visitors with the impression to have seen something that is usually ignored by the official media and political reports. Big thanks to this young German film-maker for his excellent work. The exhibition will be open till August 15th 2012 at Maximillian church (just a few meters away from the Isar riverside, about 3 km upstream from the place where peoples use to have a camp fire).

At the beginning, however, there was a sort of "sales-fair" of several
world religions. Buddhists, Moslems, Jews, Catholics and even some Bahai
all got a 15 min slot to present their faith. It never was so obvious
to me that all these religions are mainly interested in attracting new
followers, and distracting them from the competitor faith. And I have to
say: For me they all used the same empty words. In particular if the
issue of an open terrorist regime like the one in Tehran was ever
present. A regime that not only oppresses, tortures and kills every
political opposition or ever free intellectual spirit, but that is
equally dictatorian and intolerant against people of other faith (in
particular the Bahai, which are systematically arrested and sentenced to
death by the Ahmadenijad regime).
I had a bit a problem, how acceptible it is to show beautiful picture of
a beautiful country and its sympathic people, but without mentioning
anything about the gouvernment, that has occupied this country, tortures
its free spirit with a awful, inhuman islamo-fascist ideology and keeps
the best people in virtual political hostage.
